Like a snowball rolling down the side of a snow covered hill, it's growing Like the size of a fish that the man claims broke his reel, it's growing Like a rosebud blooming in the warm of the summer sun, it's growing Like the tale by the time it's been told by more than one, woo, it's growing Everyday it grows a little more than it was the day before My love for you just grows and grows Oh, how it grows and it grows And where it's gonna stop I'm sure, nobody knows (Hey, hey, hey, nobody knows) How it grows, and it grows, and it grows (Nobody knows) woo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Nobody knows, it grows, it grows, where is it gonna stop) Woo, like a need in a guy to see his girl When she's gone away, it's growing Like the sadness in his little heart When he knows that she's gone to stay, woo, it growing Everyday it grows a little more than it was the day before My love for you just grows and grows Oh, how it grows and it grows And where it's gonna stop I'm sure, nobody knows (Hey, hey, hey, nobody knows) it gets a little wider (Nobody knows) oh, it gets a little stronger (Hey, hey, hey) the feeling for each kiss, baby (Hey, hey, hey) oh, it lasts a little longer, yeah (Hey, hey, hey) oh, so much oh, so much Can't you see it's growing, baby It grows, and it grows, and it grows, and it grows
